I saw this pop up on my youtube feed this morning. I have been reminiscing about the "good old days" lately, haha, so watching nostalgic videos. This feels so comforting to watch and brings back nice memories from when I was a kid.

M&S usually have at least one or two traditional ones in amongst their Percy pig crap.
Made a start on my christmas food stash 
Food festival on in town and got some after eights fudge which was made friday and has a use within 4 months label on. So im putting that aside til nearer christmas.
I usually get the snacks out when the kids break up from school *18th december this year.

Gosh I so remember when I used to buy single sheets neatly displayed on an A board type structure draped over wooden rods....10p a sheet
What about brown paper, then ribbon/twine, with ink stamped designs (hobbycraft, temu, amazon, etc).
If you have a Sostrene Grene nearby their Christmas wrapping is lovely.
Sainsbury’s usually has some good wrapping paper designs (all their Christmas bits are nice!)
My B&M was a big disappointment today - hardly had anything Christmassy but I’m slightly relieved as it does feel too early! Going to lookout for their twinkly lights next time, I’ve officially been influenced by this thread

Thank you for reminding me Sostrene exists!
They have an online shop too (I remember they didn’t for a while). I bought a loooot of Christmas stuff from them last year!For those going to look or buy the B&M lights, don’t go for the ‘cluster’ ones. They don’t give as nice an effect and cause big gaps imo.
I got a lovely set in home bargains yesterday.. had plain green and burgundy plus a holly design
3.99 including ribbon and tags
Next also usually have some nice traditional ones. You’ll see them online.
Maybe wait a couple of weeks. The big store near me hasn't got that stuff out yet.Thank you! I'll head in there tomorrow
They have a lot of Christmas stuff like chocs, Christmas gifts, wrapping. Christmas home decor but not tree decorations or lights or wreaths etc. That's just my local big store though.Ah thank-you! I just assume everyone has it out now
Thank you all some brilliant ideas about wrapping from different places. Every time I’m in a shop I only tend to see the real garish stuff.
